<H3>Shortcuts:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      Key macro <B>r</B> implements the command <B>clockwise</B>
      (or <B>rotate 90</B>). <BR>
      Key macro <B>R</B> implements the command <B>clockwise 270</B>
      (or <B>rotate -90</B>). <BR>
      Key macro <I>Control-</I><B>R</B> implements the command <B>clockwise 180</B>
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Usage:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>clockwise</B> [<I>degrees</I>] [<B>-origin</B>] <BR><BR>
      <BLOCKQUOTE>
         where <I>degrees</I> is the number of degrees to rotate, and
	 must be a manhattan amount (90, 180, 270).
      </BLOCKQUOTE>
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>clockwise</B> command rotates the current selection by
      the specified amount, in degrees.  The default rotation is by
      90 degrees.  The amount of rotation must be one of 90, 180,
      or 270. <P>

      If <B>-origin</B> is specified, the rotation is around the
      origin of the selection, not around the lower left-hand
      corner.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>clockwise</B> is implemented as a built-in <B>magic</B> command.
      Because a "standard abbreviation" is <B>clock</B> and conflicts with
      the Tcl command <B>clock</B>, this case is handled specially.
      The command <B>clock</B> is deprecated in favor of the more general
      command <B>rotate</B>, but is maintained for backward compatibility.
